Motorcycle riders escort donated food

Hundreds of motorcycle riders escorted 80,000 pounds of food and personal items Wednesday morning to the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.

Eight hundred families in Dauphin County will get the items as part of the program Feed the Children Food Drop Ride.

"It's important because America needs to help and we have a lot of hungry people. Not everyone is lucky enough to be riding around on motorcycles and seeing this fine country. If we can do it, then we need to give back," said Alan Cease.

The riders, who belong to the star touring and riding association, will participate in a live auction at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel.

The proceeds from the auction will benefit next year’s feed the children event.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
